SEMI-BUSY....

It felt a little warmer today, but the temperature was not all that different. Quiet. No wind.

Abbe was in her usual spot trying to find something to eat.

The kitties were out in force.

L'orange spent the last two days in and out of the basement with Bermuda...this morning he wandered back to the barn and let me take that gorgeous photo I put on my banner.

After chores I went to the bank and grocery store...back home a little before class started.

Tina finished her drawing of DJ and Tootsie Louise...

and is about to start on a portrait of Mr. Sandman.

Donna is still working on her holly.

Mel was in the drawing stage....of a buffalo.

Jean worked on her bird in black.

Barb had chore duty tonight and I took Gary's car and our little trailer over to Shepherd's Mill to get a load of sawdust. They are going to shut down for 2 or 3 weeks and I did not want to get stuck without bedding. But, this loading and unloading in the dark is a pain in the butt. The three of us unloaded it in about 20 minutes. At least it's done.

I look at several posts at the same time. Your Note cards are beautiful. And Lorange's picture gorgeous.Thank you for proposing to write to Le Cheval. He is OK. When he has time, he'll write to you, probably about Manon, the mare he rides every saturday.When I was at school, at the same level than him, we had only to learn one foreign language. Now, the pupils must learn two languages. So, he learns English and German. And, as it is better to sit for more at the exam, he also learns Latin. So, much homework. I try to help him except in German (I have learnt Spanish instead). And when he asks for help in Latin, it seems I'm getting much more younger than to-day. I have not still made the puzzles but I won't forget to tell you when they're ready.See you soonPhyto

I am a retired art teacher who has always had a passion for horses. We live on a farm and currently care for 4 horses, 2 dogs and 3 cats.
My husband and I are both very active as volunteers in our community and have enjoyed living here for over 40 years.
This Journal has opened up my world.
It was started on February 22nd, 2008 and has taken me to so many places.
What a way to travel!

A Navajo quote to Woof Whinny Whisper

FROM GREY HORSE MATTERS...

If you bury him in this spot,the secret of which you must already have,he will come to you when you call;come to you over the far, dim pastures of death.

And though you ride other living horses through life,they shall not shy at him, nor resent his coming,For he is yours, and he belongs there.

People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grassbent by his footfall,who hear no nicker pitched too fine for insensitive ears.People who may never really love a horse.

Smile at them then, for you shall know somethingthat is hidden from themand which is well worth the knowingThe one place to bury a horse is in the heart of his master.

Thank you, Grey Horse Matters.

Elvira

Somewhere in time's own spaceThere must be some sweet pastured placeWhere creeks sing on and tall trees growSome paradise where horses go,For by the love that guides my penI know great horses live again.~Stanley Harrison
